Wear Kimono in Asakusa with a Rental Dress Up Experience in Tokyo

Great service and beautiful kimonos!

Reviewed by: a.d.

We actually ended up arriving to the kimono studio on the wrong day but they were so accommodating and allowed us to get the kimono dressing done that day even though they were busy. They have a heap of kimonos to choose from, lots of hair accessories, and the hair lady does wonderful braids. For location, it was easy to find, just remember it is down the street where starbucks is !

Elegant Kimono Photo Shoot Experience in Tokyo

Professional Kimono Pictures and Experience

Reviewed by: Sharon

I have always wanted to try a Kimono but never had a chance to, so definitely wanted to try this photo shoot when I came to Japan. The whole experience was so amazingly wonderful. The girls spoke English well and we were able to communicate. There were so many different gorgeous Kimonos to choose from. They help to make my hair and had an abundance of hair pins to choose from (There were so many different ones that I couldn't make my choice but was glad that I had their guidance.) The photo shoot was very friendly and fun. I definitely enjoyed my pictures afterwards and wanted all of them. Best of all, you finished your experience with sweets and macha tea in the end. What girl doesn't like ending with sweets right? This was definitely a fun experience and would recommend to anyone!

Elegant Kimono Photo Shoot Experience in Tokyo

Beautiful Kimonos and Incredible welcome

Reviewed by: Ffion

As there were no reviews of this experience, I was not sure what to expect but as soon as our taxi pulled up at the address and there was a clear sign directing to us to the right floor, I was reassured!

We were greeted by two incredibly hospitable and welcoming Japanese ladies who were incredibly passionate about their business. It was honestly a priviledge to visit them in their studio. First there was the opportunity to choose a Kimono to my tastes and then they did my hair in a style fitting for the Kimono (you also get to choose matching hair accessories too) which was great. After this I touched up my make up and they began to put the Kimono on.

The main experience is then having your photos taken in the studio part along with some fun Japanese accessories. For this experience you have one printed photo included from the photo shoot and you can pay extra to take the digital prints away - which I did as it wasn't too expensive.

I can honestly say that the whole experience was fun and professional with the Japanese ladies making you feel totally at ease the whole time. My husband came along (but he didn't fancy dressing up!) and they made him feel very welcome too and let him take photos of me for free in the kimono outside of the studio too (which I thought was very generous).

After the photo shoot we were both served some delicious green tea and Japanese sweets which ended off the experience brilliantly. This was a totally worthwhile experience and in my opinion much better than walking around outside in a Kimono which I saw lots of tourists do! The quality of their kimonos is so much better and as they are more princess style, it feels incredibly luxurious to wear them. As the lift doors closed at the end of this experience we were left with the image of the two ladies bowing to us on our way out - I cannot rate them highly enough.

Overall a fantastic experience and I'm so glad I chose to do it!

Elegant Kimono Photo Shoot Experience in Tokyo

Wonderful Japanese Shoot

Reviewed by: Andy

We signed up for the kimono experience plan because my wife loves Japan and has always wanted to try on a Kimono. The whole experience turned amazing. Despite being unfamiliar with the area, the studio was very, very easy to find located in the NW corner of JR Meguro. The studio itself was very inviting and personal. We were greeted by the girls who spoke English and were super friendly. They informed us on the schedule and details of our plan, so there were no surprises later. Once done, she provided me with a catalog with all the different traditional Japanese men’s wear to choose from. As I have never worn this before, I definitely needed the ladies to help me so that I didn’t wear the pants on backwards! We then proceeded to the studio where they took probably 15-20 photos. They had all sort of different props from me ranging from samurai swords to Japanese umbrellas which was fun. The shoot throughout was very engaging, where the photographer is constantly interacting with you. As I never have modeled for anything, she was very helpful in terms of telling me how to pose, where to put my arm, and where to look. At no point during the shoot did I feel uncomfortable or unnatural. Once done, they allowed you back to the dressing room, where you were actually allowed to use your own phone or camera to take a few pictures for yourself! Since I only purchased the basic package, I was able to choose only 1 pic. However, many of the photos really turned out well and getting extras weren’t so expensive so I picked up more. Even if I selected the whole package of the shoot, the cost was still fairly reasonable (5000 yen). Best of all, the girls are never pushy for you to buy any photos. All in all, this turned out to be a wonderful experience and probably was the highlight of our trip. I would highly recommend this for anyone coming to Japan and hoping for a Japanese experience with pictures to remember.

Elegant Kimono Photo Shoot Experience in Tokyo

Friendly ladies who will not only dress you up as a princess but also make you feel like a one!

Reviewed by: Nikki

When I first booked this experience, I expected that (because kimono is quite an expensive thing) I will feel uncomfortable wearing it and taking pictures. As I come from the country where people providing services are not really that friendly I also expected formal atmosphere. But the reality was complete opposite! The three ladies working at the studio Wa were soooo friendly and created such a atmosphere, that I couldn´t help but laugh during the whole photoshooting. When we entered the studio, they already expected me and my friend and we received very warm welcome. Then they arranged our hairstyle very pretty so it will match with kimono and we got to choose the hair accessory on our own. Also we chose the kimono we wanted to take pictures in. Even though it took us quite a lot of time they waited patiently for us to decide. Then one of the ladies helped us with wearing kimono and the others prepared for the photoshooting. They took around 20 pictures of each of us (also with some props like a sword, flowers, an umbrella) . Then we took off the kimono and got to choose one picture to be printed out. Me and my friend were so satisfied with the pictures that we decided to pay for all of them to get them on CD. While we waited for the CDs, the ladies served us with original japanese matcha - green tea and sweets. For the whole time we were there, they were really friendly. The best hospitality! Even when we returned home and I had a problem displaying pictures on my computer, so I wrote to the studio and they replied within few hours and sent me pictures again.
Honestly, I can´t find anything to complain about. The whole studio is really cozy and close to the Meguro Station, and one lady can speak English very well. I will definitely recommend this place not only here but also to my friends. And I really wouldn´t mind taking my pictures in kimono there again :) They also have a facebook page so you can check some of the photos there.

Elegant Kimono Photo Shoot Experience in Tokyo

Very enjoyable experience

Reviewed by: Andy

I participated in this activity in the beginning of April with my friend and it was a very enjoyable experience. The Kimono studio is a quite small business with a family atmosphere. There were no other customers at the time, which seemed to be the standard circumstances. The two of us had 3 women staff at our disposal, who took very good care of us. They brushed our hair, provided basic make-up products and dressed us in the kimono of our choosing, which would have been very complicated otherwise. There were about 7 types of kimono in different colours to choose from. If you want your choice to match you perfectly, ask them to show you the real kimono, because the photograph in the catalogue is quite misleading. The shooting itself took about fifteen minutes. You can tell it is not a professional shooting session, but the staff is very pleasant and they try hard to make it work. They also have some additional accessories such as umbrellas, flowers, fans and katanas. Every one of us got 20 photos and we could choose one to be printed out free of charge. If you want the digital version of the whole collection, you need to pay extra money and they burn it out for you on a cd. After the shooting we received a real matcha tea and some sweats. To sum up, this activity is definitely worth the money. It is a great experience!

I used this plan to hang out with my friends on a holiday!

I wanted to spend a different kind of holiday than usual, so I decided to use this plan.

There was a wide variety of kimono styles, and I happily consulted with other customers there to choose one. The dressing and hair setup were done very efficiently in about 30 minutes per person.

After putting on the kimono, we thoroughly enjoyed Asakusa by visiting Senso-ji Temple, Tokyo Skytree, Sumida Aquarium, and having tea at Angelus! It was fun to stroll around Asakusa with a fresh feeling.

I heard they can also accommodate English and Korean, so it might be nice to bring foreign friends and treat them! I want to invite my friends again and use this plan in summer with yukata!

Sometimes, a stroll in Asakusa in a kimono. たまには着物で浅草さんぽ

Reviewed by: くもじい

While reading a novel set in Edo, I really wanted to wear a kimono and walk around the downtown area, so I made a reservation here. The studio had many international customers, including people from Taiwan and Thailand.

Although the studio isn't very large, there are plenty of kimonos to choose from, to the point where I was almost overwhelmed. The staff provided great advice to help me quickly decide on hair accessories and an obi. The fitting was speedy yet thorough, with just the right amount of tightness so that it wasn't uncomfortable to walk. The hairstyling was simple but cute, with lovely braids.

This time, I decided to add the photo shoot option. We started the shoot by walking from the studio to Senso-ji Temple. The photographer was very friendly and shared a lot of information about Asakusa, almost like a guide. My husband, slightly nervous in his hakama, and I, feeling a bit shy in my kimono, were able to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere thanks to the pleasant conversation.

There were New Year's decorations, creating a unique atmosphere in Asakusa during the year-end and New Year period. I wondered if there were couples like us in the Edo period as we enjoyed the hour-long photo shoot.

Even without the photo shoot, I think the price is a great deal for kimono rental with hairstyling, allowing you to wear it until the evening. It would be nice to see more variety in men's kimonos as well.

江戸が舞台の小説を読んでいたらどうしても着物を着て下町の街を歩いてみたくなりこちらを予約してみました。
スタジオには海外のお客さんも沢山来ており、台湾とタイの方もいました。
そこまで広くないスタジオですが、十分に選べるだけの着物があり、逆に迷って決められないくらい。髪飾りも帯も、ぱぱっと決められるようスタジオの方がいい具合にアドバイスをくれます。
着付けはスピーディですがしっかりとしてました。歩いていても苦しくないほどよい締め具合、ヘアセットも簡単ですがかわいく編み込んでくれました。
今回は思い切って写真撮影のオプションを付けました。スタジオから浅草寺へ歩いて撮影開始。カメラマンさんだけど、浅草について沢山お話をしてくれてまるでガイドさんみたいな方でした。袴姿にやや緊張気味の夫と、着物でちょっと恥ずかしい私でしたが、お陰で楽しいおしゃべりに和んだ雰囲気で撮影できましたよ。
ちょうどお正月の飾りがあり年末年始の独特な雰囲気の浅草。江戸の時代にもこんな夫婦がいたのかな、なんて思いにふけりながら、1時間ほどの撮影を楽しみました。
写真撮影なしでも、着物レンタルにヘアセットもついて、夕方まで着て過ごせてこの値段はお得だと思います。男性の着物ももっと種類があると嬉しいですね。

It's that time of year again! I fully enjoyed Kimono Day in Asakusa. 恒例！年末の着物Day　浅草満喫しました。

Reviewed by: ライチョウ

Every year, I enjoy wearing a kimono at the end of December. This year, I used Kim's Sakura Photo Studio again. As always, the dressing time was incredibly quick! There were two of us, and the total dressing time was about 30 minutes, so it went by in no time with two staff members assisting us. The variety of kimonos in terms of colors and patterns was abundant, even more so than last year. I chose a somewhat subdued colored kimono with a flashy obi, accented with pink. We entered the studio at 10:30, and our free time started at 11:00.

First, we filled up at a sushi restaurant where the tuna is cheap and delicious, then we enjoyed the retro atmosphere and Dutch coffee (cold brew coffee) at the long-established café Angelus, which opened in 1946. Finally, we had a great time at the Asakusa Engei Hall enjoying a variety show. The afternoon show at Asakusa Engei Hall ends at 4:10 PM, so if we listen until the end and return to the studio, we can easily make it back by the kimono return time of 5 PM.

I rarely have the opportunity to wear a kimono in my daily life, but it’s a nice change of pace. With this service, there's no need to buy a kimono myself, and I can enjoy various styles, so I think it would be fun to invite my close friends for a kimono girls' gathering in Asakusa.

毎年、12月末に着物を着て楽しんでいます。今年も金さんのサクラフォトスタジオを利用しました。相変わらずの迅速な着付けタイム！2人参加でしたが、着付けの所要時間はあわせて約30分程、2名で対応していただけるのであっという間です。着物の種類も色、柄ともに品揃えが多く、昨年よりも充実していました。ちょっと地味目の色の着物に、派手めの帯、アクセントにはピンクであわせていただきました。10:30にスタジオに入り、11:00から自由行動スタートです。

まずは、まぐろが安くて美味しいお鮨やさんで腹ごしらえ、その後、昭和21年開業の老舗喫茶店アンヂェラスでレトロな雰囲気とダッチコーヒー(水出しアイスコーヒー)を味わい最後は、浅草演芸ホールで寄席を楽しみました。浅草演芸ホールの昼の部は終了が午後4時10分、最後まで聞いてからスタジオに戻れば着物の返却時間の17時には余裕で間に合います。

着物を着る機会が普段ではめったにありませんが、気分転換にもなってなかなかいいものです。このサービスなら自分で着物を買う必要もなく、色々なパターンのものが楽しめるので仲良しの友達を誘って、着物浅草女子会なんてやってみてもいいなと思います。

I’m glad that I took part in this tour. I joined with a friend, and it was as if we both turned into models.
First of all, the studio is conveniently located, only 1-3 minutes from Kaminari-mon on foot. As it’s a rented room in a building, it was hard to find it. When we went inside, Kyonming spoke to use politely. The studio is small, but Kyongming made us really cute. We wore elegant kimonos with Nagoya obis. I recommend the Nagoya obi highly.

They arranged my hair simply and put 3 hair accessories on my hair! After putting Kimono on, it's time for a photo shoot! I was so excited about getting photographed and making many poses in Asakusa! Please have a look at pictures I attached! We had free time until 5 so had a stroll in Asakusa. However, tourists looked at us, they wanted take our pictures like paparazzi, so we were in many pictures with people from many countries for their souvenirs.
It was the best experience ever. I would love to do it with my friends again! You should try it at least once, as it is a rare opportunity to take pictures of you wearing Kimono at this price!

Traditional Maiko Dress-up Experience in Gion

A truly unique experience

Reviewed by: Marilyn

Where else can one do this? The staff is very accommodating. I speak no Japanese, but one of the girls, Satomi, spoke English very well. She was a dream! There are several colors kimonos to select from as well as obi and hair ornaments. Everyone gets a small locker to store your clothes/purse, etc. The photography session was lots of fun, laughing all the time.

I did have a little trouble finding the street and building, too, once I got on the correct street. A map or better written instructions would have been helpful. Also, maybe I missed it, but I didn't even seen a sign for this business? I wound up asking a local...who just happened to work there.

One other suggestion. The space to change clothes is very, very small. There were other clients in the small space, and the congestion was a bit difficult.

Overall, I'm so glad I did this. I learned a lot about the process & what it takes to be a Maiko. Satomi, you ROCK! Thanks so much for being so kind and helpful.

Wearing a kimono once in a while is nice, isn't it? たまには着物も良いですね。

Reviewed by: ライチョウ

I had a kimono experience in Asakusa before it got crowded for the New Year. It's been about 10 years since I last wore a kimono, aside from a yukata, so I was excited to see how it felt as I headed to Asakusa. The studio is located in a building, which might be a bit hard to find, but it's right where the map indicates. Just head inside the building without getting lost, and you'll find it right away.

First, you choose your kimono. They have a variety of options, from classic to modern styles. It might be fun to pick a pattern that's a bit different from what you usually wear. Once you've chosen your kimono, the staff will coordinate everything perfectly for you. They will also style your hair neatly, so there's no need to worry.

After getting dressed, I strolled around the streets of Asakusa. Nowadays, Asakusa has many foreign tourists, so there were moments of taking pictures together and interacting with them. I visited Senso-ji Temple, enjoyed some local craft beer at the base of Azumabashi, and had sushi on the famous sushi street in Asakusa before heading back to the studio. I fully enjoyed Asakusa in my kimono.

They also have options for men, so I thought it would be quite lovely for couples to participate in a kimono date for special occasions. I would like to join again sometime in the future.

お正月で込み合う前の浅草で着物体験してきました。着物を着るのは、浴衣をのぞけば10年ぶりくらいでしょうか？どんな感じだったかなとわくわくしながら浅草へ向かいました。スタジオはビルの一室。ちょっとわかりにくいですが、地図の通りの場所です。迷わずビルの中に入りましょう、そしたらすぐにわかります。
まずは、着物選びから。古典的なものからモダンなものまで、色々と揃っています。普段着ないようなちょっと変わった柄を選ぶと楽しいかもしれません。着物を選ぶと後は、着付けの方がすべてばっちりコーディネートしてくれます。髪の毛もきちんとアップにセットしてくれるので心配無用。
着付けが終わった後は、ぶらぶらと浅草の街の散策へ。今の浅草は、外国人観光客が多いので一緒に写真を撮ったり、撮られたりとそんなやりとりもところどころに。浅草寺へお参りし、吾妻橋のたもとで地ビールをのみ、浅草で有名なおすしやさんの並ぶすしやどおりでおすしをいただきスタジオへ戻りました。着物姿で浅草大満喫です。
男性用も用意されているので、記念日などにカップルで参加して着物でデートなんていうのもなかなか素敵だなと思いました。また、何かの折に参加したいと思います。
